@Airport_FRA terrible experience for connecting flight with EES system today. Staff at new pre reg terminals too busy chatting to themselves. No signage, no queue management, no information. Absolute chaos! Avoid this airport, others tell me it is always like this

Welles Crowther, a 24-year-old equities trader widely known as the "Man in the Red Bandana," carrying an injured person to safety during the September 11 attacks in 2001..... Welles Crowther was a 24-year-old equities trader working on the 104th floor of the South Tower on September 11, 2001. After Flight 175 struck, he covered his nose and mouth with his red bandana and began helping survivors near the devastated 78th-floor sky lobby. Drawing on his training as a volunteer firefighter, he found a usable stairway, guided injured people through the smoke, and carried a badly wounded woman on his back. Instead of continuing to safety, Crowther repeatedly returned upstairs to help others. Survivors later identified him as the mysterious “man in the red bandana.” He died when the South Tower collapsed. For months, survivors knew only that a young man wearing a red bandana had appeared through the smoke, calmly giving instructions and leading people toward safety. His identity was confirmed later when survivors recognized Welles Crowther in photographs. His red bandana is now preserved by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. #drthehistories

The RNLI routinely rescued German pilots shot down over British waters. They didn't ask which side they fought for. If someone was in danger at sea, they saved them.

If Channel 4 is successful in bringing down both Reform UK and Tommy Robinson, we're going to have to ask some very difficult questions about the BBC, and why its news team failed to use its resources to investigate, scrutinise and challenge the far right, in the way Channel 4 has.

People are always trying to entice introverts out of their comfort zone and "let their hair down" a little. Why doesn't anyone ever ask extroverts to calm down and shut the fuck up for a few minutes?

Normally a company that said that its product had a 10% plus chance of exterminating humanity would be shut down immediately. Just saying.

A massive ‘well done’ to the 50-ish patriots who protested outside the Marriott Hotel in Portsmouth last night after spotting a number of brown people present at the venue. Just one small problem however - it was the Pakistan Under-19 Men’s Cricket Squad who are currently on tour and taking on our own Under-19 team in Arundel today.

So pleased to see @ZackPolanski demanding the Government’s suppressed then redacted report on ecosystem collapse be published in full. People can’t prepare for what they don’t know - concealing this report is unforgivable #WildSummit theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

The biggest mistake we’ve all made is not understanding how fragile everything is. Food. Democracy. War. Peace. Civilisation. The planet. I’m afraid we’re about to find out.

I have lived in a seaside town, done it a few times actually. I've heard the slap of feet hammering down the road outside my front window on cold wet nights when the sea is high and the wind is howling. I've heard the bangs on a door, and the shouts to get a shift on. People dragged out of bed in the cold of night. Running downhill as fast as they can. They then jump in a boat, and head out to sea. They don't always come back. Don't tell me these people are traitors to the country, when they do that, and more often than not, come back with souls saved and lives rescued. Team #RNLI till the day I die. Racist scum won't change that.

Palantir have just signed a new £21m contract – this time with Britain’s grid operator. Who were the other bidders? Well, there weren’t any. The National Energy System Operator said it was too dependent on Palantir already to invite anyone else 🤔 ft.com/content/f6a26a…

I did over 15 years as a member of a Mountain Rescue Team. Call outs could be disruptive, unpleasant, cold, tiring and hard work. Very rarely did they involve any personal danger or risk to me. Lifeboat crews put themselves at risk every launch. I support RNLI.

Since it's inception the RNLI have lost a minimum of 438 crew attempting to saving lives at sea. More depending on how you define that. Every single time a volunteer answers that call they show more courage than any of the armchair warriors shouting at their keyboards.

I want to live in a country where men don’t assault a woman for her views, drag her across the floor, touch her inappropriately, and stick their fingers in her mouth. I don’t want that to be my culture. Never Reform.

I think there needs to be a conversation about older people being radicalised online because that conversation is only ever framed through the prism of young people when evidently it’s happening to the older generation too. It’s really scary these are people’s grandparents.

Another young female protester receiving brutal treatment for heckling at the Reform conference. Look at the guy take a swipe at her with his crutch. Nigel Farage actually encouraged this from the stage, he’s completely unfit for public office.

Women are watching this differently. Particularly any woman who has been “opportunistically” assaulted in a crowd. This was not about stopping a heckler or a threat, it was about a total humiliation. And tonight those men go home to their families.
